You want to find out which fraction of your car’s use is for commuting to work, and which is for personal use. You know the one-way distance from your home to work. For a particular period, you recorded the beginning and ending mileage on the odometer and the number of work days. Write an algorithm…
You want to decide whether you should drive your car to work or take the train. You know the one-way distance from your home to your place of work, and the fuel efficiency of your car (in miles per gallon). You also know the one-way price of a train ticket. You assume the cost of…
In order to estimate the cost of painting a house, a painter needs to know the surface area of the exterior. Develop an algorithm for computing that value. Your inputs are the width, length, and height of the house, the number of windows and doors, and their dimensions. (Assume the windows and doors have a…

A virtual environment is created on top of an existing Python installation, known as the virtual environment’s “base” Python. It may optionally be isolated from the packages in the base environment, so only those explicitly installed in the virtual environment are available. A virtual environment is Running this command creates the target directory Command to…

Algorithms are a sequence of steps or rules designed to achieve a goal. They can take many forms and facilitate optimisation throughout the investment process, from idea generation to asset allocation, trade execution, and risk management. Machine Learning (ML) involves algorithms that learn rules or patterns from data to achieve a goal such as minimising…
The read command is a builtin command that reads from the standard input. By default, it reads until a newline is received. The input is stored in one or more variables given as arguments: read var If more than one variable is given, the first word (the input up to the first space or tab)…
